That kind of issue is exactly why Im so happy to have LLMs, let it take one hour or trial and error instead of me spending a day digging traces

I struggle to imagine where anthropic is going with sub users...

Fable 5 might not be accessible for sub in the future despite their "best effort".

And 5.6-sol is as expensive as 5.5, so highly probable to be kept in sub.

So what's the plan? Hoping people stay on ClaudeCode because Sonnet 5 while Codex offers 5.6-sol to subsription peasants?

Seems risky


OpenAI prioritized compute much much earlier on, so they’re probably just more able to provide the model while Anthropic seems to be busting out the seams

Sonnet 5 today was incredibly slow for example


the plan is to make money by charging a premium for the best product on the market instead of giving it away for free.


If it's the case then software engineers still have the same place as pre-ClaudeCode era, because 4.8 and 5.5 are damn good at algo but notoriously bad at architecture and coordination.


I believe the ideal solution would be to take a genAI image from gpt-image2 and transform it onto a pseudo-deterministic layout.

Did anyone tried a non-naive approach, aka throwing the image with a simple "rebuild it" prompt ?


It's all speculation.

Reality is Fable is x2 price increase against previous.

GPT5.5 is x2 price increase against previous. And after the last week reset, codex is hungry for your sub allowance.

Everybody can see that the massive raises are not matching the revenue, at all.

It's a surprising headline. Yes it does make sense to cut the price to gain market share, but it also make sense to keep it at a sustainable level, which seems to not have been reached yet.


Fable is twice the size of Opus from what I gathered. So I'm not sure if 2x price translates to 2x profits as well.

Not sure about GPT but it seems plausible they've also been increasing the model size with recent releases. (Progressively training a bigger model and easing into a profitable price range for that model scale?)


it looks like all AI is following the same pattern as GPT-3 again, building bigger models to achieve better results.


Which is actually good news if it still works


Opus 4.8 cost 2x than 4.7 But to compensate for that Claude Code limits wete doubled

This was a week after deepseek slashed prices!


A "plans for agents" interface because I'm tired of reading huge markdown plans to iterate on the real work. Is supports infinite 2d space like miro, but has one thread per card, a cli for the agent to treat open notes. It support voice prompting too.

It feels like you have parallel conversation with an agent, except it understands all the surface. And it's granular, surgical and precise.

Usage: I'm writing a game design document of 70 pages with it, working surgically without having to worry about what page number the edit was.

It really solved my main bottleneck which is telling the AI what to do in a complete and comprehensive context.

Readme is trash but your agent will understand what to do

Sounds interesting! I’m using VS Code with Cline to instruct Claude Sonnet 4.7, to develop a web-app, and find it’s frequently re-reading the project documentation at each and every turn, costing me tokens. Would TheBlueprintTool enable me to avoid this - or do I misunderstand its use case? TIA


I wonder if profitable means that investment must be recouped or just if your operational expenses must be compensated by your earnings.

Anthropic is becoming "profitable" while burning a series H of 69 bns usd. Does it count as profitable?

I'm curious if someone well versed in finance can answer, because from my uneducated perspective, it's not profitable to burn billions in order to make a billion.

> wonder if profitable means that investment must be recouped or just if your operational expenses must be compensated by your earnings

S&P requires profitability (i.e. net income) according to GAAP. That definition incorporates both ROA and operating income.


EBITDA is typically used to evaluate profitability.


> EBITDA is typically used to evaluate profitability

S&P requires GAAP profits, i.e. net income. EBITDA is above that.


I'm making a 3D game and I hate flat worlds, a planet is much more elegant, both finite and infinite in gameplay terms since the surface is not expandable, but you can't hit a world border at the same time.

Cartesian coordinates doesn't work well for the player so I wanted a lat/long/altitude grid system.

I could have spent few days walking through stackoverflow and debuging my upcoming flawed implementation.

ChatGPT web version almost one shot the helpers in 2024 and boy, there were a lot of pitfalls.


I've been playing with making some retro games using Claude.

Rally-X inspired retro arcade game in the browser: https://linsomniac.github.io/rally-xy/

A nsnipes networked multiplayer maze shooter game (also browser based but it needs a server for the networked multiplayer part): https://github.com/linsomniac/isnipes


It is not "clear", as your comment suggests, it's hidden. Which is semantically the opposite of clear. Regarding your theory, might be true, might be false. But it's highly speculative.


All of us, including you, know that he is not saying "they are being transparent." When someone says "it's clear that..." in this way they're saying "It's clear to us what is really happening here.


It's not clear, there is no tangible proof that Mythos is not released because they don't have compute power to serve it. Saying that would imply that the "too dangerous" is a lie. Nobody has proof. It can feel "clear" for you, but it's not. Hence, I correct it.


Yes I got how they used the phrase. And it was wrong, so I wanted to react. Thanks for your addition, it dissipates any doubt on the intention of OP: he thinks Anthropic is hiding the lack of power by pretending it's too dangerous. But he is wrong to assume that without proof, hence my reaction.


Agreed, but I'm talking about how they are, very clearly, using the phrase.


The not clear comment is valid by either interpretation.

To a lot of us it’s not clear that’s what’s happening. It’s speculation and one possibility.

It may also be a secondary consideration and not the primary gating factor.

Anthropic has had their missteps but it’s still plausible to take what they say at face value.


I agree, saying "it's clear" when at best, "it's plausible" doesn't let the conversation happen. And pretending to know what is going on behind the scene, anon on HN is not credible


Urgency x scarcity, unbeatable marketing move.


It is really good. Will also cut through the common procurement, legal and change management processes seen at these orgs.
